i’m sure there’s something to be said that despite any amount of shovelware cozy games or shows, the most endearing/enduring are the ones that are very much About Something. stardew is about monopoly capitalism (and approaches many other things, if you pursue optional story), spiritfarer and cozy grove are about death (positive), natsume’s book of friends and my roommate is a cat are about (healing from) trauma. ooblets is also about monopoly capitalism but i don’t think that was as successful1.
anyway i am a terrible fucking writer sorry but wanted to say something

i liked a lot of things about ooblets but it has exactly 1 body type, which is pretty bad. even Actual Pokemon has fat NPCs
